It's the 10% Happier Podcast. I'm Dan Harris.

Hey, gang, today we're talking about how to know whether you are an introvert, an extrovert, or somewhere in between, and why knowing your tendency can improve your life, not only in terms of how you organize your life, but also in terms of how you handle other people.

My guest is the great Susan Kane, author of Quiet, The Power of Introverts in a World

That Can't Stop Talking, which spent eight years on the New York Times bestseller list and has

been translated into 40 languages.

Susan also has a popular substack and online community called The Quiet Life.

In this conversation, we talk about how to know whether you're an introvert or an extrovert,

the strengths of introverts, and how you can access these strengths, even if you're an extrovert,

techniques to improve your relationships and work life based on knowing your tendency and the

tendencies of people around you, how to design your life around where you do your best,

including figuring out your true goals, the perks of exposing yourself

to things that you're afraid of, the paradox of anxiety and shyness, and why introverts and

extroverts often get along so well, something Susan calls introvert extrovert synergy.

Hey, before we get started, I want to make sure that you know about all the good things we've

got going on at Dan Harris.com.

That is my new-ish online community built in partnership with Substack, where paid subscribers get cheat sheets and transcripts for every podcast episode.

Plus, I do regular live AMAs that's Ask Me Anything sessions where I take your questions and more.

It's a lot of fun.

You'll also get to meet virtually lots of other folks who take all of this stuff seriously.
